AGENCY: Research and Special Programs

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: On March 17, 1998, RSPA

published a final rule in the Federal

Register (63 FR 12998) titled ‘‘Drug and

Alcohol Testing; Substance Abuse

Professional Evaluation for Drug Use.’’

This final rule modified procedures in

its drug testing regulations by requiring

a face-to-face evaluation by substance

abuse professionals (SAP) for pipeline

employees who have either received a

positive drug test or have refused a drug

test required by RSPA. It also revised

the word ‘‘employee’’ to ‘‘covered

employee’’ and added the definition of

‘‘covered function.’’ This document

makes minor corrections to restore text

that was in the original version of the

regulations, but was inadvertently left

out of the Final Rule.

DATES: Effective on July 8, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Correction of Publication

When RSPA published the final rule

in the Federal Register, it inadvertently

left out text that was stated in the

original version of the regulations. This

text was in the original version of the

regulations and was inadvertently left

out of the final rule text, so RSPA does

not need further rulemaking action to

correct the text. This final rule corrects

the text. RSPA regrets any confusion the

omission may have caused.

Accordingly, the publication on March

17, 1998, of the final rule, Federal

Register Doc. 98–6859 (63 FR 12998), is

corrected as follows:

§ 199.7 [Corrected]

1. On page 13000, in the second

column, add amendatory instruction 2a

and an amendment to § 199.79(a)(3) to

read as follows:

revising paragraph (a)(3) to read as

follows:

§ 199.7 Anti-drug plan.

2. On page 13000, in the second

column, in § 199.11, paragraph (e) is

correctly revised as follows:

§ 199.11 Drug tests required.

(e) Return to duty testing. A covered

employee who refuses to take or has a

positive drug test may not return to duty

in the covered function until the

covered employee has been evaluated

face-to-face by a SAP, has properly

followed any prescribed assistance, has

passed a return-to-duty drug test

administered under this part, and the

SAP has determined that the employee

may return to duty.

§ 199.15 [Corrected]

3. On page 13000, in the second

column, add amendatory instruction 3a

and an amendment to § 199.15 to read

as follows:

3a. Section 199.15 is amended by

removing paragraphs (c)(3) and (c)(4)

and by redesignating paragraph (c)(5) as

50 CFR Part 679

[Docket No. 971208297–8054–02; I.D.

070298A]

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic

Zone Off Alaska; Pacific Ocean Perch

in the Western Regulatory Area of the

Gulf of Alaska

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Closure.

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed

fishing for Pacific ocean perch in the

Western Regulatory Area of the Gulf of

Alaska (GOA). This action is necessary

to prevent exceeding the 1998 total

allowable catch (TAC) of Pacific ocean

perch in this area.

DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local

time (A.l.t.), July 3, 1998, until 2400 hrs,

A.l.t., December 31, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Thomas Pearson, 907–486-6919.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

groundfish fishery in the GOA exclusive

economic zone is managed by NMFS

according to the Fishery Management

Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of

Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North

Pacific Fishery Management Council

under authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and

Management Act. Fishing by U.S.

vessels is governed by regulations

implementing the FMP at subpart H of

50 CFR part 600 and 50 CFR part 679.

The amount of the 1998 TAC of

Pacific ocean perch in the Western

Regulatory Area of the Gulf of Alaska

was established by the Final 1998

Harvest Specifications of Groundfish for

the GOA (63 FR 12027, March 12, 1998)

as 1,810 metric tons (mt), determined in

accordance with § 679.20(c)(3)(ii).

In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(i),

the Administrator, Alaska Region,

NMFS (Regional Administrator), has

determined that the 1998 TAC for

Pacific ocean perch will be reached.

Therefore, the Regional Administrator is

establishing a directed fishing

allowance of 1,610 mt, and is setting

aside the remaining 200 mt as bycatch

to support other anticipated groundfish

fisheries. In accordance with

§ 679.20(d)(1)(iii), the Regional

Administrator finds that this directed

fishing allowance has been reached.

Consequently, NMFS is prohibiting

directed fishing for Pacific ocean perch

in the Western Regulatory Area.

Maximum retainable bycatch amounts

may be found in the regulations at

§ 679.20(e) and (f).

Classification

This action responds to the best

available information recently obtained

from the fishery. It must be

implemented immediately to prevent

overharvesting the 1998 TAC of Pacific

ocean perch for the Western Regulatory

Area of the GOA. A delay in the

effective date is impracticable and

contrary to the public interest. Further

delay would only result in overharvest.

NMFS finds for good cause that the

implementation of this action should

not be delayed for 30 days. Accordingly,

under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), a delay in the

effective date is hereby waived.

This action is required by 50 CFR

679.20 and is exempt from review under

E.O. 12866.

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.

Dated: July 2, 1998.

Director, Office of Sustainable Fisheries,

National Marine Fisheries Service.
